Woakes leads line at Moseley Ashfield
England international Chris Woakes was among the Warwickshire players who helped out with NatWest CricketForce at Moseley Ashfield CC in Birmingham - Warwickshire's showcase club.
Woakes got stuck in with the paint brush on April 9 but was also involved in a coaching session for youngsters while mums, dads and club volunteers were hard at work sanding, sweeping, painting, scrubbing, renovating, cooking and cleaning the pavilion and ground.
Ireland star Boyd Rankin and fellow Warwickshire players Chris Metters and Tom Allin plus ECB coaches Cookie Patel and Gary Denstone also helped out with the coaching.
Moseley Ashfield chair Angela Brown said: "A huge thank you must go to the ECB coach education and NatWest employees who turned up in force, donated coaching equipment to the club, bought raffle prizes, worked on whatever was needed and arranged cricket coaching sessions for the younger members who were less interested in painting.
"Seeing Chris Woakes and Boyd Rankin giving coaching tips to our lads, some as young as four years old was truly inspirational. The boys thoroughly appreciated it and really enjoyed the experience (as I think did the Warwickshire players).
"As one of the parents said, it isn't every day you receive coaching from an England player. The boys will remember this day for a very long time."
Despite having a team in action against Durham MCCU, other players helping out across the county were Richard Johnson, Neil Carter, Laurie Evans and Andy Miller at Tanworth & Camp Hill CC. ECB and NatWest staff also leant a hand at Weoley Hill & Handsworth CC.
In all, 40 Warwickshire clubs took part in NatWest CricketForce's 10th year and ECB managing director of cricket partnerships Mike Gatting said: "I have seen fantastic things achieved by clubs through NatWest CricketForce over the years. It still amazes me the projects that can be completed when the community gets behind their local club.
"Over the last 10 years we have seen new pavilions built, pitches laid, nets and sight screens repaired and many litres of paint put to good use, long may it continue."

The Database Publishing Wizard that was included in Visual Web Developer 2008 is not a part of Visual Studio Express 2012. If you go to the Database Explorer and right-click on your data connection, you'll see that the tool to get to that wizard is no longer available. That ability, however, to export the structure and data from one or more database tables is now available in SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server 2012, and I'll show you how to do that here. I'm working with that same database, My Bookstore, this time seen through SQL Server Management Studio. I'll go to my database, My Bookstore. I'll right-click and choose Tasks > Generate Scripts, and that takes me to something called the Generate and Publish Scripts wizard. On the introduction screen, I'll click Next. Now, I'll indicate whether I want to script the entire database or only a single table.
Those are your choices. I'll export just one database table: My Author's table. I'll select it and then click Next. Now I'll indicate how I want to save my output. I'm going to save a script file to a particular location on disk, so I'll select this first option for the output type and the default option for a Save to File. And then here's a very important step. I'll click the Advanced button, and this takes me to a list of options for my scripting. There are many options available. I'm just going to change two of them. First of all, I'm going to add both Drop and Create statements, so I can use the resulting script to remove an existing table and create a new one. I'll change the option to Script DROP and CREATE. Then I'll scroll down to the bottom of the first list and I'll change the Types of data to script from the default of Schema Only to Schema and Data. And again, there are many other options available that you can investigate. I'll click OK and that takes me back to the Scripting Options window. Now I'll specify which file I want to create. I'll browse, and for convenience, I'll put the resulting file on my desktop, and I'll name the file authors.SQL. When I click Save, I'm taken back to the Scripting Options window and then I'll click Next. I'll review my selections and click Next again, and the export is executed. If you see Success under the Result column, it's all good. I'll click Finish to close the wizard.
I'll minimize all of my software tools to return to the desktop. And then I'll go to the resulting file, author.SQL. I'll open that in the text editor, and you can use any text editor you like. I'm using TextPad. And I'll scroll down to show that the resulting SQL file has SQL statements to create the table and all of its structure, plus insert statements for all of the data. You'll find one insert statement for each of the original rows that was in the database. You can now take this resulting script and use it to create the table on your production site and populate it with your existing data.

When accelerating between 1st and 2nd gear, there is a lengthy shift time, also I notice when pressing slightly harder on gas pedal while already in travel, it is not responsive as a v-8 should be with quick acceleration. It seems as either gas is not traveling through the gas pump at the required rate, or after getting my intake replaced, that possibly one of the (pistons/cylinders) could be bad, or may have a compression leak. No smoke or stalls and no problems starting when cold. Thanks!

ha yinyangAio1 and wecome to anime online i will hope u meet new friend soon or late and what to be friend
Hi, I'm new to this site! My name is Coty, I've got dual personalities! One Personality is funloving and carefree, the other...not so much. My mom's sent me to a doctor but there was nothing he could do (something about childhood stuff) so every night I have to be locked in my room because the other half of me is distructive and I tear up stuff. So far its been awesome and I've be having lots of fun! I live in Bentonville, Ohio (aka middle of nowhere thank you God) and I love anime with a burning pasion! My favorite animes are Blood +, Bleach, Magical Knight Rayearth, and Di Gi Charat. I'm still learning about this site but if you have any hints or reminders give me a ring!

Denver Beer Fest
With the spotlight on the Great American Beer Festival, it's easy to forget about the other amazing beer events happening around the Mile HIgh City.
With the spotlight on the Great American Beer Festival, it's easy to forget about the other amazing beer events happening around the Mile HIgh City.
Narrowing down the options during Denver Beer Fest can be difficult. But to get yourself in drinking shape for the Great American Beer Festival, we suggest this tasting of some of Colorado's best—and scarcest—beers. Twenty-one breweries will pour fall-appropriate sips (with unlimited refills!), including Denver Beer Co.'s Hey!
Rich Higgins, a San Francisco-based master cicerone and Consultant á la Biére, believes beer is a simple pleasure in life and a celebration of taste, time, and agriculture. Join him and Russell's Smoke House's executive chef, Taylor Drew, as they lead guests through German beer-paired dinner. Along with brews, meat will be a feature of the evening including smoked duck, roasted venison, and braised short ribs. Top it all off with marzen beer alongside carrot cake. Wed 6:30 p.m.
The Kitchen [Next Door] loves and celebrates craft beer each day of the week. In recognition of the 2012 Great American Beer Festival, it's stepping it up with an official party honoring its five favorite breweries (consistently been featured on their taps): Oskar Blues, Dry Dock, Odell, Funkwerks, and Upslope Brewing. Enjoy tasty beverages from these craft breweries paired with good eats from the [Next Door] kitchen. Wed 7 p.m.
With her powerful and emotive mezzo-soprano voice, Canadian-American singer and actress, Alanis Morissette, has gained international recognition since she recorded her first demo, "Fate Stay With Me." In the early 1990s, she was an opening act for Vanilla Ice, and eventually won a Juno award for her hit "Too Hot." In 2006, she recorded "Wunderkind" for Disney's The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. She recently released Havoc and Bright Lights, her newest album. Wed 7:30 p.m.
Kimbra, a New Zealand-born songstress, is not a name synonymous with your average female singer. She brings a modern edge to contemporary pop thanks to jazz-influences and a range of inspirations (Think: Nina Simone, Jeff Buckley, Prince, and Björk). You may not recognize her names but you already know her voice: she sang on Gotye's multi-platinum single "Somebody That I Used to Know." Wed 8 p.m.

Breakfast Topic: When did WoW click for you? {WoW}
Mar 26th 2009 9:57AM Ah yes... the Wetlands Gauntlet, dodging crocs, spiders, and the occasional raptor and then the dragonmaw orcs as the final obstacle to Loch Modan.
That's the only downside of the rerouting of the Auberdine boat from Menethil to Stormwind.
Breakfast Topic: When did WoW click for you? {WoW}
Mar 26th 2009 9:54AM At first I'd say it was the lore, the history of the quests in my Teldrassil days, getting the story part by part while questing for the teaching Druids in Shadowglen and Dolanaar. But really it was somewhere in the mid teens and I'm standing in Auberdine when a Druid askes me to help charter his guild, the Moonwood Rangers. I say sure. We found the the group and a couple of days later he leaves after sneaking up behind me and snapping a Guildmaster hat on my head. And after that it was one long moment when I realised I could make this a roleplaying guild.... a moment that capped when I found mysself standing side by side with the leader of the Tears of Draenor Horde guild after leading a cross-faction sweep of the Stairs of Destiny.
So it actually was one long continuous moment.

blkmasta55555 said...
Those of you on the pro-vehicle side misunderstand. It's not "ZOMG CHANGE AND/OR SKILL, FLEEEEE", we want to play our characters because of the level of investment we have in them. If you've worked hard to get your gear (a laughable notion in the current content, but bear with me), yet some randomer wearing quest greens can perform just as well as you, it cheapens the gear.
On the other hand maybe it just means that they're just as skilled as you are in the encounter, that it's one where what phat gear you're carrying isn't going to make up for a difference in skill and strategy.
Or is your epeen so delicate that you can't bear that in these few fights your gear isn't going to be the reason you dominate over someone else?

I've never had a problem with ammunition as it is. although it did make things a bit more challenging when I put on a skinning bag as well.

Ask a Lore Nerd: Life and Death {WoW}
Mar 18th 2009 12:56PM The frost women of Brunhildar are not "good" in the conventional sense, they are essentially Vikings in their outlook, and they share a lot of the prejudices of other vrykul, they simply haven't responded to them in the same way, i.e. they rejected the Lich King's offer of allegience. (They're especially incensed over the "sisters" who became Val'kyr)
Are they evil? Some of them definitely are, like the one you directly rescue the goblin from. Most of the others are simply fiercely competitive and are more feral than anything else. And while they may hate the Scourge, they're not going to be allying with any of the "small" races to fight it.
Officers' Quarters: Time for another rant {WoW}
Mar 16th 2009 12:41PM When it comes to officers, members, guild harmony, the number one issue where the majority of guilds I've seen blow up is on perception of fairness or the lack of it. You can create whatever system you want for raid adjudication or loot disbursement, promotion, or whatever but if the members get a hint of discrimination, then a guild collapse can follow very quickly if the issue is not promptly addressed.
Communication and fairness, that's 90 percent of it right there.
No vanilla WoW realms. Really. {WoW}
Mar 13th 2009 11:49AM Maybe this game isn't as fun for some if more than 5 percent can see the top-ranked content. That was a major problem with the old game.
Actually for me the best improvement has been the world quests. they do an excellent job of getting you involved in the various meta arcs and Neither Classic nor BC came close to how well Wrath has done it.

I have a beautiful old hydrangea, it was here when we moved in 8 years ago and was well established then. Its in a protected spot and has always bloomed beautifully. This year I noticed there was less foliage than usual and there are lots of smallish flower heads instead of the usual large fluffy ones. Now all the flowers are turning brown, but not really dry, they look dirty. I found a couple of leaves that have brown spots that could be anthracnose, but I think I would have expected more leaf damage. Here's a link to some pics. Please let me know if you have any ideas.

The Industrial Revolution
From the 1820s the Industrial Revolution was in full swing in Scotland, linked (in a way historians have not altogether disentangled) to a dramatic increase in population. There were perhaps a million people in Scotland at the beginning of the 18th century. By the beginning of the 19th century there were more than 1.5 million, and by the turn of the 20th century the population exceeded 4.5 million. The manufacturing towns showed spectacular increases. Hundreds of thousands of Irish emigrants went to Scotland in the 19th century, beginning prior to but increasing in number during the Irish Potato Famine of 1845–49. In some country regions there was a population decrease as people moved to the towns, to England, or overseas. Part of the overall increase was the result of improved medical care that had lessened the ravages of epidemic diseases by the mid-19th century. Much of the food for the increased population was supplied by progressive Scottish agriculture. Farming in the southeast was celebrated for its efficiency in the early 19th century, and the northeast became famous for its beef cattle and Ayrshire for its milking herds.
The key advance was in heavy industry, which from about 1830 took the industrial primacy from textiles, at a time when industry as a whole had replaced agriculture as Scotland's chief concern. Coal production rose, as did that of iron, with the hot-blast process (1828) of James Beaumont Neilson making Scottish ores cheaper to work. Major canals, such as the Forth and Clyde, completed in 1790, enjoyed a short boom before being rendered obsolete by the railways, of which the Glasgow-to-Garnkirk (1831) was noteworthy for using steam locomotives (rather than horses) from its inception. Above all, Scottish international trade was catered to, and Clydeside's reputation made, by the building of ships. Robert Napier was the greatest of many great Scottish marine engineers. The later 19th century was characterized by the expansion of new heavy industry, such as steel, and technological advances in shipbuilding and marine engineering.
Politics and religion
Parliamentary (1832) and burgh (1833) reform ended fictitious county votes and corrupt burgh caucuses but disillusioned the working classes by failing to extend to them the franchise. As in England, they had to await the 1867 and subsequent Reform Acts (see Reform Bill). But the great bulk of the Scottish middle classes were delighted with the Whigs, who had brought the reforms. The Whig Party, or Liberal Party (as it became known in the 1860s), dominated Scottish mid-19th-century politics. Liberal Party leader and hero William Ewart Gladstone, of Scottish parentage, was widely admired among Scots for his moral dynamism and fire despite his High Church Episcopalianism.
Ecclesiastical strife was perhaps more important than parliamentary politics in Scottish life in the 19th century. Opposing approaches to the relationship between church and state within the Church of Scotland brought about the Ten Years' Conflict, which was not resolved until a large proportion of the clergy and the laity left the established Church of Scotland in 1843 to form the Free Church of Scotland. This fracture was not healed until the Presbyterian reunion in 1929, and it had profound effects on Scottish life, because the church was the main agency of social welfare (until 1845) under the old Poor Law of Scotland and undertook a similar role in the Scottish education system until 1872.
Trade unions of skilled workers had led an uninterrupted existence since the early 19th century. By the 1880s unskilled workers were being organized. Various factors delayed the permanent organization of the miners until a major leader, James Keir Hardie, emerged from their ranks. Failing to sufficiently engage the Liberals in support of organized labour, he helped form the Scottish Labour Party in 1888. In 1893 Hardie created the Independent Labour Party (ILP) for Britain as a whole, and in 1900 the ILP federated with the trade unions for the purpose of running the Labour Party (given its present name in 1906). However, liberalism continued to dominate Scottish politics until 1922 (the Liberals even won a majority of Scottish seats in the two general elections of 1910), as the labour movement, despite the activity of Hardie, found it difficult to emerge from the shadow of the Liberals.
The Highlands
By 1800 the Highlands had become overpopulated relative to the means of subsistence. Many lairds, seeking to support their tenantry through the kelp industry, were ruined when it collapsed in the period from 1815 to 1825. Other landowners introduced sheep, sometimes violently removing their tenants in the "Highland Clearances"—as agents of the Sutherland family did in Strathnaver, Sutherland, about 1810–20. The Potato Famine in the Scottish Highlands that began in the mid-1840s caused distress and encouraged landowners to engage in a new round of clearances and to sponsor large-scale emigration.
By the 1880s Highland subsistence-farming tenants, or "crofters," faced a new problem. Deer forests had replaced sheep runs as the most immediately profitable land use open to landowners, and, as a result, the shortage of land for grazing and arable agriculture was the major grievance of the crofting community. Parliamentary agitation by the crofters, who voted for the first time in 1885, and by their Lowland sympathizers, as well as sporadic outbursts of violence beginning in 1882 (the "Crofters' War"), secured an act of 1886 that gave the crofters security of tenure and empowered a Crofters' Commission to fix fair rents, though it did little to make more land available to crofters. (Further legislation in 1911 and 1919 helped to alleviate this problem.) Unlike their Irish counterparts, the Highlanders sought not ownership of their land but the imposition of certain standards of conduct and responsibility upon their landlords. As the crofting agitation of the 1880s united both Highlanders and Lowlanders, it was a key stage in the forging of a modern Scottish consciousness.
Scotland since World War I
World War I and after
World War I had a great effect on Scottish society; 74,000 Scots were killed and industry mobilized as never before in a coordinated national effort. Clyde shipbuilding and engineering were crucial, and Clydeside was the key munitions centre in Britain. In retrospect, however, the expansion of heavy industry in the 1920s was in fact an overexpansion. The collapse of the wartime boom in 1920 began a period of economic depression in Britain, in which Scotland was one of the worst-affected regions.
Economic distress bred political radicalism. The Liberals were eclipsed, and in most seats the real contest was between the Unionists and Labour, which became Scotland's biggest single party for the first time in the election of 1922. Willie Gallacher, Scotland's only notable communist member of Parliament and an able political theorist strongly influenced by Vladimir Lenin, was at the same time a radical belonging to a revered Scots tradition. In 1930 John Wheatley, who had been minister of health in the first Labour government (1924) and the author of an important housing act, died, thereby depriving left-wingers in the Labour Party of a skilled leader, and counsels of moderation in the party prevented its taking any distinctive initiative on the economic crisis. Ramsay MacDonald, a Scot who had led two minority Labour governments, agreed to form a national coalition government with Conservative and Liberal support in 1931. However, the Labour Party refused to participate, disowned MacDonald, and was heavily defeated at the polls in Scotland as elsewhere.
Another political development that resulted partly from economic distress was the formation in 1934 of the Scottish National Party (SNP), a merger of two previous parties. It had some distinguished supporters, especially literary figures, but it was suspected, sometimes unfairly, of political extremism and made little electoral impact before World War II. The national government of the 1930s was dominated by the Conservatives. While opposed to an independent Scottish legislature, this government furthered the extension of the Scottish administrative system in 1939, installing it in St. Andrew's House in Edinburgh.
The interwar period was one of significant cultural advance and self-confidence in Scotland. In poetry the dominant figure in this renaissance was Christopher Murray Grieve, who published under the pseudonym Hugh MacDiarmid. Important achievements in prose literature were made by Neil Gunn, Edwin Muir, Nan Shepherd, and Willa Muir. James Leslie Mitchell (Lewis Grassic Gibbon) published a trilogy of novels, collectively known as A Scots Quair (1932–34), which charted the changes in the social life of the communities of northeastern Scotland. In Gaelic literature poetry continued to be the dominant form, and the lyrical work of Somhairle MacGill-eain (Sorley Maclean) dominated the 20th-century scene.

A boring Englishman leaves home one morning to post a letter while his wife runs the vacuum cleaner over the upstairs carpets. He doesn't come back. Instead he walks from one end of England to the other. Not, one would think, an immediately attractive scenario for a novel that has been read by millions of Chinese readers in the PRC and Taiwan and topped the book charts in both countries. Yet it has. Rachel Joyce's debut novel, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, got rave reviews in the UK when it was first published in 2012, became a bestseller, was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Book Prize and longlisted for the Man Booker. Fine, but what's got Chinese readers so captivated about boring English everyman Harold Fry? Continue reading

Cute kids, corn-pop, cheesy moves… What is this, Sparkle Motion: The Movie?
Jamie J Johnson's 'popumentary' about the Junior Eurovision Song Contest ought to pack the regurgitative effects of a reckless Buck's Fizz bender. Give it a shot though, because the tone isn't all about aggressive uplift: instead, Johnson's Euro-youth snapshot generates sweetness, sincerity and chuckles of a warm, genuine kind.
Sounds Like Teen Spirit is candy-coloured but it's candid too. After a brief (and faintly flimsy) dip into Euro history, Johnson introduces a gaggle of '07 Euro-hopefuls age-ranged 10 to 15. Each has their reasons for competing, many touching, all endearing.
Bulgaria's Marina wants to impress the dad who deserted her. Cyprus' Giorgos sings to forget the homophobic bile he weathers at school. Belgium's nicely deadpan Trust belt out songs about friends who steal boyfriends while raising wry eyebrows at the off-the-leash spectacle before them.
If you're looking for dark secrets though, look elsewhere. There are no pushy parents lurking, as in Spellbound; no Donnie 'Quiz Kid' Smith-style traumas brewing. Johnson persuades us that his film is about the kids' fortitude, not about adult projections on to them.
The humour is on-side rather than condescending: when one off-key tween realises that "singing wrong" consistently is better than "singing wrong" and then shifting to the right key, you laugh while admiring his smarts.
Granted, the plotting is wayward and the eye-bothering Eurogaudiness hits toxic levels. But the charm count is equally high. You might not buy the soundtrack, but you really do root for these pint-proportioned popstrels.
Kevin Harley
Gooey tunes and rampant primary colours can't scupper the slick yet guileless crowdpleasing of Jamie J Johnson's debut doc. We might giggle and gag on the garish Euro-pop, but Johnson gets us on-side with winning, grinning empathy.

Those brakes also come in handy at the end of the long straight at the new Circuito de Monteblanco in nearby Huelva, where the XFR reached 140 mph before a hairpin right-hander. What the track also revealed was the need for a stability control setting that allows far more latitude for oversteering without it being turned completely off. Jaguar says it is working on it.
Speaking of latitude, Jaguar's new Indian owner, Tata, is wisely giving Jaguar plenty. The freedom from meddlesome oversight and the lessons Jaguar has learned from its missteps and its successes over the past decade are allowing its people to, in O'Driscoll's words, "make Jaguar Jaguar again." That they're doing so quickly, with limited resources, and producing cars as fine as the XFR, goes a long way toward making past mistakes like the X-type recede in the rearview mirror.

Designed by William Mitchell
Compared with the tall, rounded, stodgy sedans of its day, the Cadillac 60 Special was lithe, clean, and elegant. Its flat roof and thin, chrome-outlined window frames were influenced by the French Panhard 6CS Panoramic, but shorn of running boards and with an extended, coupelike trunk blended into the body, the 60 Special was far more interesting. When design boss Harley Earl first pitched the radical car to the GM board, they resisted. CEO Alfred Sloan wasn't in the meeting, but he was known to like the car, according to Michael Lamm and Dave Holls' A Century of Automotive Style, so an exasperated Earl at last turned to them and said, "What will I tell Mr. Sloan when he asks me?" With that, Earl got the 60 Special approved.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates ALTRIA GROUP INC as a "buy" with a ratings score of B+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate ALTRIA GROUP INC (MO) a BUY. This is driven by a number of strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, expanding profit margins, growth in earnings per share, solid stock price performance and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally high debt management risk by most measures that we evaluated." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- MO's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 0.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 1.0%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- The gross profit margin for ALTRIA GROUP INC is rather high; currently it is at 57.93%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 27.60% is above that of the industry average.
- ALTRIA GROUP INC's earnings per share improvement from the most recent quarter was slightly positive. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, ALTRIA GROUP INC increased its bottom line by earning $2.26 versus $2.06 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($2.57 versus $2.26).
- The stock has risen over the past year as investors have generally rewarded the company for its earnings growth and other positive factors like the ones we have cited in this report. The stock's price rise over the last year has driven it to a level which is somewhat expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Tobacco industry and the overall market, ALTRIA GROUP INC's return on equity significantly exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Gwinnett Daily Post
P.K. Sam is barely 26, but nagging injuries have turned him into an NFL journeyman, a nomad in search of the right franchise.
The former Buford standout was drafted by New England, where he spent two years and scored a Super Bowl ring, but from there it's been quite a journey thanks to hamstring problems and tendon tears. Signed as a free agent by Cincinnati, he was cut in the preseason. He signed with the Dolphins, then went to NFL Europe and to Oakland, where his injury got worse. He reported to Seattle for mini-camp in 2008, but couldn't pass the physical. So he played last season for the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL, mainly to prove to NFL teams that he was healthy. "I wanted to get my name back out there," said Sam, who was signed back in January by the Buffalo Bills. "This time, hopefully, I'll stay healthy. It was never really a question of talent. In that league, you have to stay healthy or somebody's going to take your spot." The wide receiver's NFL path has been winding, much like the journeys of his entire family. Sports have taken P.K., his brother Lorne and his sister Autumn all over the country. And wherever they went, their parents followed. "We weren't the kind of family that ever went on vacation to Destin or Hilton Head," said Autumn, hired last month by WSB-TV in Atlanta after a three-year stint as a TV reporter/anchor for the ABC affiliate in El Paso, Texas. "On spring break, we were always at a basketball tournament, at some camp or at a track meet. ... We've been able to see parts of the country we never would have seen without sports." Philip and Letta Sam made regular drives to Clemson for Autumn's basketball games and even moved to Tallahassee when both P.K. and Lorne played there. They didn't miss a home game and often made road trips. The Sams were visiting El Paso late in 2006 to see Lorne, who had transferred to UTEP, when Philip became ill. Liver and colon cancer, both discovered too late, ravaged his body. He lived only a month longer, passing away Dec. 14, 2006. In what seemed like a flash, Letta lost her husband of 25 years. The couple's three children lost their loving father, but also the guiding influence in their athletic careers. But to this day, they haven't forgotten lessons learned from their father, who also was typically their youth league coach. "What I'm most proud of, and I don't mean to use the race card, but in society a lot of black males aren't there for their kids," P.K. said. "He was the complete opposite. He was always there for us. He and mom were always together. They were attached at the hip. He was a great man and a great father. Sports were a big part of what he taught us, but it was secondary to what he taught us about being a man." "Something you don't find a lot is my parents always sacrificed a lot to be there for us," said Lorne, a wideout with the Green Bay Packers. "My dad was always there in the youth leagues. He developed our work ethic. ... He was probably our biggest fan and our toughest critic. When you have someone there who loves you and wants the best for you, it drives you to want to do better." Philip's influence wasn't limited to his sons, who he helped become NFL wide receivers. He spent equal time with his oldest child, even though she didn't really get heavily involved in sports until high school. Those lessons remained as Autumn followed a path in coaching, then into TV sports reporting. "So many female anchors only know the sport they played," Autumn said. "But dad was a football coach, a baseball coach, a SportsCenter junkie. That shaped who I am and what I understand. I know certain X's and O's of football because of watching my dad and brothers go over plays at the table." When Philip passed away, Letta moved to El Paso, where Autumn worked and Lorne played. The women still lived there until recently moving back to Georgia. Meanwhile P.K. and Lorne have continued their travels, pursuing NFL dreams. Recently married, P.K. has a 5-month-old son - named Philip Kenwood Sam III after his late father - and he hopes to become a contributor in Buffalo. Lorne aims for the same in Green Bay. "They really do follow their dreams," Letta said of her children. "They're not afraid of anything. I really am learning from them at this point. I come from a safe generation, think it out. They just go for it." Those career aspirations may keep the Sams spread all over the country in the foreseeable future, but all of them hope for a reunion at some point in the future when they settle back in Georgia. "When everything's lined up, that's where I want to be to settle down and hopefully put my kids through the Gwinnett school system," P.K. said. "It's been kind of crazy to say the least since we left high school, but it's been fun."More like this story

This mini iron is the perfect thing to keep your lapels and collars looking perfectly crisp when you're on the go. This portable iron is the perfect size to keep in your purse or in a drawer at work. It is a covert, rectangular device that resembles a business card holder or a lighter more than an actual iron.
The tiny device can be powered by batteries or by USB. When the iron is on, a red indicator light shows that it is hot enough to be used. This makes it ideal for short travel trips when clothes are prone to wrinking from being tightly packed in a suitcase, or even if you've been sitting on a plane for an extended period of time.

Introducing our little man
Isla and Henry are proud siblings to a new baby brother. He was born on May 22 very quickly!
Still undecided on boy names on our way to the hospital we found ourselves behind a truck on the hwy with a 'Rio' sticker on it. Rio was on our short list so I said to my DH if its a boy I think its a sign.
It is a boy so we are calling him:
Rheo George Arthur.
We didn't want the Spanish spelling and opted instead for a more musically inspired variation of the name.
Thanks Nameberry for helping us find perfect names for all three of our kids.

I think the spelling you chose gives his name more weight than"Rio". Congratulations!

We've often wondered which member of the group is most like us. Are we Minnie because we love to wear red polka dots, Daisy because we add a little extra sass to everyday life, or Goofy because, well, we're kind of goofy? Finally we (and you) have a way to find out:
